Lampada ad olio

Andrea Briosco, called Riccio Italian

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 536

Riccio da Padova fu il più vivace e innovativo bronzista del Rinascimento italiano e questo è il più raffinato oggetto decorativo di quel grandioso periodo presente nel Museo. Con coperchio e piedini ancora intatti, questa è l’unica lampada ad olio integra dei tre esemplari che ci sono pervenuti di questo artista. Ha la forma di un antico galeone: i lati sono costituiti da fregi raffiguranti dei putti che giocano con degli arieti, mentre le estremità formano curiosi riccioli, tra cui il collo di un mostro con la barba che sembra soffiare sullo stoppino.
